Chicken Zucchini Parmesan

Chicken Zucchini Parmesan is a breaded and stacked chicken breast and zucchini round that is topped with 3 different kinds of cheese, and a tomato slice. That’s Amore!

Having had an abundance of zucchini from our garden this summer, I started dreaming up different ways to use them.  I came up with this recipe one evening and it immediately became a favorite.
